Overview:
Breaking out of Normandy, Maj. Gen. Stroh's "Pathfinders" of the 8th Infantry Division advanced quickly across the Breton coast and was the first infantry division to arrive in the Brest area, relieving the 6th Armored on 18 August. In a hasty attempt to catch Fallschirmjager-Regiment 7 off guard in late August, some of the 8th spearheads got too far ahead of their supporting elements. On the night of August 28, companies E,F, and G tried to infiltrate through German positions near Kergoas and Hill 97, but were halted early in the morning by two assault guns and a captured M4 Sherman. This panzer counter punch was beaten back, but caused considerable havoc among 2nd Battalion. They were promptly counterattacked by the always-aggressive German paratroops.Attacker: German (Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 7, Fallschirmjäger-Division 2)
Defender: American (2nd Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, 8th Infantry Division)

| 2022-06-11 | (D) Martí Cabré | vs | Piergiorgio Caputo | American win | Round 3 of Roma 2022. I was the Americans and managed to stop the Germans on the edge of the map, by using some fighting withdrawal and well placed dummies. The Germans tried to conquer the southwest woods were I kept them in check for some turns, while moving both my MG to more center positions, to lay firelanes and look for good shots on open ground. The Germans did not push on the east so those troops slowly went to strengthen the line and near to the game end the Germans had not been able to cross the first board, so they conceded. |

| 2022-05-12 | (A) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Alexey Kolleganov | German win (VASL Log) | Germans rushed throught the center by the cover of the cornfields, but one full stack was eliminated because of 1KIA random selection. Germans received some distance advantage after the sprint, so they reached northern buildings before the US reinforcements, and after several Melees there, advanced off-map. |
| 2022-05-07 | (D) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Gleb Paskevich | American win | German forces attacked mostly through the center and their left flank, but to the Tunr 5 suffered too many casualties while crossing open space. |
| 2022-05-04 | (A) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Fedor Melnikov | German win | Germans were able to infiltrate through the center and right flank, gaining race advantage to the opposite board edge. Germans spread out in platoons after the first rush, so US reinforcements also had to spread out, trying to stop some German units but Germans had overwhelming advantage at good portion of the map to infiltrate off-board. |
